linker error != compiler error i.e. often has nothing to do with your code. you''re just not linking to the openGL libraries: opengl32.lib & glu32.lib. go configure you''re linker settings properly (check to make sure those libraries are being linked).

the short of the deal is that the gl headers give your compiler the info it needs to compile the programs by supplying it with references to the appropriate function headers. but there''s no code to execute those fctns till the linker is run. the gl libraries contain the compiled versions of the functions that the headers point out.

-me

Add glut32.lib glu32.lib opengl32.lib to your program.
Then build again.
